Elysium: And Then Life Was Beautiful by Nao
Krystal- Oh, I think I’ve heard like one other Nao song before. I’m not super sure I love her singing voice. It’s really, really high-pitched. And I mean, it’s cute! But I’m just kind of disturbed by it, and I’m not sure I’m meant to feel unsettled by the song… It’s really like Persephone vibes or something. Eerie beauty. I don’t hate it. I’m not sure how I feel. *3/4*
Deme- Ooooh, she's got a pretty instrumental. Oh. Wow. Okay, I fully was not expecting those vocals. I don't hate them at all, I'm just like... 😶... unexpected. I don't think it's really my type of song, but she's pretty! *4/4*
Jaxon- Honestly, I really get the theming here & think it fits very well. The whole vibe sounds very blessed and peaceful. I think the production on the song was done very well. My complaint, however, I find her voice to sound like a ‘baby voice’ to me and it is very grating. She can definitely sing, I just don’t think her voice is for me. I wanted to like this song more than I did, and it does have a lot of positives, but vocals are the most prominent thing about a song IMO. *4/4*
Josh- *3/4*
The four scores combined gave you an average of 3.5. This tied with another contestant, but you ranked better last round.

Underworld: INFERNO by Sub Urban, Bella Poarch
Krystal- Ooh, I’m excited by the kind of unsettling instrumental setting the song up. Like it’s fuuuun. Oh, these are some really nice vocals. Like it’s a bit breathy, which Josh might throw up and scream over, but like… I’m digging it anyway. And wow, wow his voice! I like their voices soooo well together, like he’s probably outselling her even like hey hey hey. I love a good spooky lil duet. I even like the freaky lil kid sounds, like they’re little gremlin bitches. Take my #1!
*1/4*
Deme- This is... such a weird combination of singers, what...? Sub Urban and Bella Poarch? And yet... I'm kind of obsessed with this, actually. They both sound good, and the song itself is just... a bop? *1/4*
Jaxon- Bella Poarch is a super fun artist who I don’t know much from, but what I do, I like a lot. Sub Urban wasn’t needed in this song if you ask me, I didn’t dislike his voice, just meh she outsold. The theming of this song was on the nose, and I’m kind obsessed with that aspect. She was bawpy and a really fun listen. I think this is definitely stronger than your other submission. *3/4*
Josh- *1/4*
The four scores combined gave you an average of 1.5. This ranked you first in this theme.
